According to my correct counter, this will be photo number 500. Ignoring the fact that WordPress counts this as post number 524 (due to file uploads).

I wish it was consecutive photo number 500, or 500 great photos or some other such magnificent thing.

As it was for post number 300, I will be using this milestone to take a short break to try and build up a store of decent shots rather than trying desperately (and badly) to put something up for the sake of it.

This won’t be a hiatus of any sorts, but also an opportunity to investigate some other site improvements, maybe a different look etc.
